Summary Paragraph:
In comparison to Rhode Island as a whole, Scituate receives most of their funding from the local government. 20% of their income comes from state and federal sources but they heavily rely on what the state does for them. This shows a dedication of the tax-payers to the well being of the youth of Scituate. When questioning the reasons for where the funding comes from we need to consider if the reason the local government has to come up with so much of the finances is because the state isn't contributing enough to sustain the community. If that's the care, why are they not getting the funding they need? Are other communities getting more money from the state and federal governments in comparison to the district of Scituate?

Summary Paragraph:
There are significant differences in funding between Pawtucket and the rest of Rhode Island. Much more of the funding comes from the state level (63% of funds) than in Rhode Island overall (36%). Consequently, much less comes from the local level (26% compared to 57%). Federal funding is present in both Pawtucket and Rhode Island, but is the least significant of the three at 11% versus Rhode Island's 7%.
